Talk to your dentist at Scioto Smiles to find out if Invisalign® in New Boston, OH might be an option for you.
How Does Invisalign® Differ From Traditional Braces?
One of the most dramatic differences between Invisalign® and traditional braces is the appearance. Traditional braces utilize metal pieces and wires that are very obvious to the wearer and to the observer. Invisalign®, on the other hand, was so named because of their near invisibility on the wearer. They aren’t completely invisible, but they do have a very low profile, making them a popular choice.
Adults and Professionals Choose Invisalign®
Adults in particular can find that traditional metal braces have a negative impact on their self-esteem. Professionals who need to wear braces may feel childish wearing them because they are thought to be a childhood tradition. That is why many adults choose Invisalign® braces instead of regular braces. When you factor in that Invisalign® braces can be removed for special occasions and events, the comfort level is even more heightened.
Better Oral Hygiene
Another benefit that Invisalign® braces have over regular metal braces is that they are removable, so when you need to eat or drink anything you can remove them. They also need to come out when you brush your teeth, which results in improved oral hygiene. This is something that has been noted to be an issue with traditional metal braces, which don’t come off the teeth for the duration of the treatment, which is often up to two years. During that time, food debris can become inextricably stuck in the braces and can potentially lead to cavities.
